Stolen from bird site screenshot w/o description:
"The #COVID lockdown has demonstrated 3 things:
* Our economy collapses as soon as it stops selling useless stuff to over-indebted people
* It is perfectly possible to reduce pollution
* The lowest paid people in the country are essential to its functioning"
*speculation* markets collapse as soon as they stop selling useless stuff to over-indebted people
@OldRedSun @meganeko what markets? ;)
@meganeko also:
— society/capitalism will never do the "right" thing for long-term benefits if it reduces short-term benefits. This is why we will never address climate change beyond band-aids
@meganeko agree on the last two, but I didn't notice any economy collapse during lockdowns?
